Any reviews? I see the elementary and high school are highly rated but the middle school is lower.
Also, how’s Money Hill neighborhood for raising a family. Looks like a nice place from what I can tell.
TIA!

Seems to be a nice neighborhood, a bit heavy on retirees/empty nesters but I’ve seen some families in there. Where is your commute to?

Every OT’er other than you already lives here.

Money Hill is nice. I feel as if that corridor of the parish Up Hwy 21 will see some growth in the near future. They really need a grocery store and other retailers out there.
I can’t speak for the schools.

The Town of Abita Springs becomes an island after a heavy rain event.
I’m not exaggerating.
Money Hill itself is nice but it’s not really a kid neighborhood, mostly it’s empty nesters & retirees.
It’ll feel like a long way into town for you from the folks I know who presently live (or used to live) in MH.
Fontainebleau High School is a long way from MH everyday.

Middle School ratings are always lower. SO much so that they are almost meaningless. Puberty is setting in, kids are hormonal, and parents compare it to their perfect elementary school world.

Most beautiful area on the Northshore. It’s way out there though.

I turned out fine. Abita is such a different town now though, was podunk when I was a kid but had grown up a lot. There will be a good mix of poor, middle and even some upper class nowadays. I am thankful for that experience going to school with a mix of students with different backgrounds.
High school is fountainbleau which is actually in Mandeville. Elementary and middle schools both in Abita and a doubt there is any discernible difference, it’s the same kids.

Doesn’t matter. If JBE gets his way the internet teaches the kids the same way in Abita than it does in the lower 9th ward.

We are selling a home in Moneyhill. We love it up here. Plenty of younger crowd in here to hang out with. Let me know if you’re interested
We are staying in the neighborhood by the way

They are supposedly putting a grocery store at the 21 entrance

Yeah, it’s been discussed for several years now. It is certainly long overdue.

Mainly WFH so commute isn’t an issue.

Main reason we were looking at Money Hill. Was originally thinking Madisonville or Mandeville but want to go somewhere it will never flood. Been through that once on south shore and that’s enough.

I think ratings are based on test scores etc and not on parent reviews

Thanks baw, that’s good to know. I saw a number of youngins on their FB page but I wasn’t sure if they were all grandkids. Will probably look into a tour of the place soon. I’m assuming no prior flooding issues? I see they like touting the 100+ feet above sea level.

He speaks the truth. I grew up there as well. My biggest gripe about Abita was just feeling far away from things.

There is a significant younger crowd crew out here(30s and 40s). Lotta younger golfers too, not just old guys. I don’t think any house has ever flooded from rising water out here.
